Chapter 231: Losing Purpose
When he heard this, Li Jian had already strung all the clues together.
Fanatics were sent to assassinate Colonel Wang Chao, the base was presumably occupied by the new religion, the civilian area was rioted, and seven bishops of the new religion were assassinated......
Although Li Jian did not rule out that Colonel Wang Chao was lying, on the surface, there was no doubt that all of this was done by the mysterious leader of the emerging religion. Because he is the only one who has benefited the most from this series of events.
Li Jian's mind quickly simulated the scene at that time, that the so-called sect leader must have secretly sent people to blow up the seven bishops of his new religion, and then falsely claimed that it was Colonel Wang Chao's secret order that he sent someone to assassinate the bishop. He then used this pretext to instigate the fanatical followers of the new religion to start a riot. And then take advantage of the lack of armed forces in the base today due to the implementation of the rescue plan, take the opportunity to occupy the base, and at the same time secretly send people to lurk around Colonel Wang Chao, as long as this leader is solved again, then the next thing to do is to consolidate his rule over the base. Or there are some details that Li Jian didn't take into account, for example, the so-called sect leader estimated that this rescue plan would kill a lot of people and consume a lot of supplies, so that there was a lack of strength to recover the base, which may also be one of his considerations.
All in all, this is the truth of this series of events, which means that the sect leader wrote, directed, and acted in a good show, taking advantage of the common people and those fanatical believers.
The purpose is, as Colonel Wang Chao said, to make the base change hands and make himself rule the base.
Li Jian felt that his guess should not be much different from the truth, and it seemed that Colonel Wang Chao had also figured this out. This made Li Jian even more curious, what kind of person is the leader of this so-called emerging religion? He was able to single-handedly take advantage of the changed mentality and worldview of mankind since the end of the world. Successfully brainwash them and establish a new religion. Then there is the fact that such a bureau is involved, and the military is replaced, and the means and skills in this are really not something that an ordinary person can do.
"Now that you've guessed the ins and outs of the matter, why don't I see you're in a hurry at all?"
Li Jian asked suspiciously.
From his point of view, this is really not a small thing, but a surprising and exciting event! As the supreme person in charge of the base, Colonel Wang Chao, who currently has the highest military rank, still looks like he doesn't care at all, which is simply unexpected.
"Why the hurry?"
Colonel Wang Chao suddenly asked Li Jian noncommittally. His body slammed.
The next moment, Li Jian instantly understood what Colonel Wang Chao meant.
Colonel Wang Chao had expected this day from the beginning, maybe he had done something to try to stop it, but maybe he had failed now. Unfortunately, this is not the point, the point is that the reason why Colonel Wang Chao was interested in the new religion in the first place was simply because it might hinder the rescue plan, and it might cause some variables in the rescue plan. Ultimately. From the beginning, all he had on his mind was the rescue plan, which was to bring back the miracle seed. For this. He was willing to sacrifice everything, including so many manpower and material resources that had been consumed due to several rescue plans before, which were just objects that he had already been mentally prepared to sacrifice.
And now, because of the appearance of Li Jian. The rescue plan has been considered a success. The huge Miracle Seed Body, and the four Miracle Seed descendants, when they see these. Colonel Wang Chao already felt that everything else was not important. All new religions, all intrigues and intrigues were left behind him. Because the rescue plan was successful, the seed of the miracle seed was brought back, and this is the most important thing, he sacrificed so much in exchange for these. Therefore, even if the base is seized, the civilians are good, and they are not the object of concern for him now. Because he had the seed of a miracle, the rescue plan he dreamed of succeeded, it was just that simple, simple, and paranoid reason.
Li Jian looked at Colonel Wang Chao with complicated eyes, and at this moment, there were two descendants of miracle seeds lying quietly in the palm of his hand, in order to avoid Colonel Wang Chao from snatching them, Li Jian had been holding them to death.
"Is it sad or ......lucky to have such a leader?"
Li Jian suddenly thought.
Perhaps Colonel Wang Chao's intentions are good, for the possibility of the rise of all mankind, so he chose to chase the ethereal miracle seed. And for this reason, he resolutely gave up a lot of things and sacrificed a lot of people, so how should he evaluate his right or wrong?
At this moment, Li Jian was also wondering if there was any need for him to stay in this base. His agreement with Colonel Wang Chao has been dissolved, the rescue plan is semi-successful, Lin Ying is no longer used as a hostage to blackmail him, and his parents are nowhere to be found because of the Bao Riot some time ago, if he really wants to leave, he can leave here with Lin Ying now. After all, Colonel Wang Chao is such a person, maybe one day he will do something, which makes Li Jian have to guard against it. And the so-called emerging religion, as well as the mysterious sect master with superb means, he really didn't want to go to the troubled waters again.
The struggle between them is none of his business, there is no need for him to stay here, and he can't find a reason for Lin Ying to stay here with him.
But where would he go if he didn't stay here?
Is it back to the wall of life? Or go home? Is it going back to school? Or go find another survivor base that doesn't exist somewhere?
Li Jian suddenly felt very confused, because he didn't know what he should do now, and he didn't know what he could do. Only now did he realize that he had relied on some things to support his progress before, especially the longing for his relatives, which made him toss and turn from place to place. But now, the thoughts are still there, but the clues are broken. For a moment, he couldn't find a reason to support or push himself forward.
He lost his faith, or rather, he lost his purpose.
Colonel Wang Chao saw Li Jian suddenly stay in place, and an inexplicable light flashed in the depths of his eyes. The retreat of the army was almost underway, and soon Colonel Wang Chao would have to retreat with the army again, or this time he would have to take the lead and prepare for all the tricks from the mysterious sect master.
He didn't wake up Li Jian, who was in deep thought, but left here quietly, and when he left, he had already ended the herald's life, as if to indicate that there would be another war to break out next. (To be continued......)
